Therapists in Austin, TX

It takes courage to reach out and make the call to get help.I know this is often a critical time in a person's life, a time of crisis and/or confusion.It is also a time for growth. I provide a safe, accepting, and supportive setting in which to explore your experiences and emotions both in the past and present.

I have experience with, and enjoy working with, people of all cultures, ethnicities and sexual orientations.

Do you find yourself plagued by emotions too big for the circumstances you find yourself in... swept downstream in turbulent emotional currents of intense anxiety, anger, grief... frozen in numbness, shame, withdrawal, emotional shutdown... struggling to find or stay on the path of your authentic self amidst the maelstrom of others' norms and expectations? For more than 20 years I have helped many like you learn how to safely navigate these challenging waters, shed the unnecessary and toxic intrusions and strictures of their past, and find and bring into the world their genuine self and voice.

I support men and women struggling with their pain. Sometimes old events, losses, and ways of behaving bog you down or keep you feeling stuck. Maybe you are overwhelmed relating with your partner, friends, or kids- or you feel isolated and alone. Today's fast paced changes may leave you anxious and unsure. Sometimes that anxiety expands into full blown panic and fear. Together we can explore ways to shift reactive and impulsive behaviors that magnify your suffering. I will help you access your inner wisdom and healing so you may experience deeper connection with others and life feels more fulfilling.

Hardly anybody I know aspires to be that average, center-of-the-bell-curve person. In different ways, we all deviate from the norm, which explains our own uniqueness. My aim as a therapist is to work with individuals, couples, triads, and families in a way that celebrates their uniqueness and "incurable deviance." By meeting you where you are, with who you are, in a way that makes best use of your unique strengths, hopes, dreams, and quirks, we can work together as client(s) and therapist to help you address your current challenges, get lots more of what you want, develop skills, transform, and explore new choices available to you.

I'm Amanda Frazier, LCSW. My goal is to help people navigate their lives in a meaningful way. We all experience a wide range of thoughts, feelings, emotions and with some more distressing than others, it can certainly help to talk about it.

I encourage clients to take small steps towards change and celebrate progress along the way. Together we consider all that is contributing to the distress and establish a plan to improve mental health and wellbeing.
